GedcomX - PHP SDK

The gedcomx-php SDK is the PHP implementation of GEDCOM X, including GEDCOM X extension projects.

See the wiki for the following:

A tutorial to help you get started.
A sample app Github project and running version to demonstrate basic functionality and usage of the gedcomx-php SDK in action.
The gedcomx-php SDK Documentation.

Installation

Prerequisites

Prior to installing the GedcomX PHP SDK you must install the following components.

PHP 5.5+ (The language of this SDK)
- You can install PHP using pre-built environments such as WAMP Server (Windows), XAMPP (Windows), MAMP (OS X), or Vagrant (Any OS).
Git (Versioning system for coding)
Composer (PHP Packages Manager)

Notes to Mac Developers:
- Mac developers might need to install the Xcode developer tools as part of this process.
- Mac developers may need to set the date.timezone in /etc/php.ini to avoid seeing errors. See PHP time zones to locate your time zone. For example,
```
  `date.timezone = "America/Denver"` 
```

You can verify that each of the required components is installed by running the following commands one line at a time, at your command line or command prompt:

php -v
composer --version
git --version

Installation Steps

NOTE: You only need to install the SDK one time for each PHP project you set up.

The GedcomX PHP SDK uses composer to manage dependencies. These instructions assume that you have installed Composer globally.

Do one of the following steps to activate Composer and install the gedcomx-php SDK library:

Run the following command at a command prompt from the root of your project:
```
composer require gedcomx/gedcomx-php-client
```
Add the following configuration to your composer.json file then run the composer install command at your command prompt.
```
{
    "require": {
    "gedcomx/gedcomx-php-client": "^1.1"
    }
}
```

Features

Implementaton of the GEDCOM X Conceptual Model in a rich set of PHP Classes with getter and setter methods. Take a look at a visual graph of the GEDCOM X Conceptual Model.
GEDCOM X Serialization

XML and JSON serialization and deserialization of GEDCOM X. For more information, see the examples.
GEDCOM X RS Client

Functionality to interact with a GEDCOM X RS compliant web service. GEDCOM X RS is a RESTful specification that defines a set of application states for a genealogical data application. This allows you to read the state of a Person, Relationship, Source Description, or other state. Take a look as some examples of establishing a RESTful state.
FamilySearch API Interface
